Decision Making and Problem Solving (Virtual) We may live in an era of fast technology and increasing reliance upon automation, but our human abilities to think critically, make careful decisions, and solve nuanced problems are more important than ever. Our personal lives depend on those things, and so do the lives of our organizations.

Agile PM vs. Waterfall PM (In-Person) The concept of Agile project management refers to the use of a number of tools and techniques that are based on enabling project teams to deliver products to a predetermined and agreed timeline. The concept of Waterfall project management refers to the use of a number of tools and techniques that are based on enabling project teams to deliver products to a pre-determined and agreed specification. The selection of the most appropriate project management method has, historically, been a choice of 'either/or' when it comes to these two approaches. It is now becoming clear that for many projects, the selection of a single project management method does not satisfy the professionalism of the project team nor does it optimize the return on investment for the sponsoring organization. A radically different approach is needed. This course presents an approach to project management which capitalizes on the most appropriate elements of each method tailored to the specific project being undertaken. In this course, the Waterfall approach will be based on the PRINCE2 model. Each method will be presented to highlight its particular strategy and strengths. The course will then propose project scenarios which will require the project team to use a hybrid method which brings together aspects of both methods. The overall goal of the course is threefold: To introduce the Waterfall approach to product development. To introduce the Agile approach to product development. To explore how a combination of both approaches can bring added value to the sponsoring organization and their customers. What you will Learn You'll learn how to: Identify the strengths that the Waterfall approach brings to project work Identify the strengths that the Agile approach brings to project work Exploit the strengths of each method by combining their practices and protocols to maximize the potential for return on investment Getting Started Introductions Course structure Course goals and objectives Foundation Concepts The purpose and importance of project work The drivers for change The roles associated with projects The parameters of project work The significance of project parameters The problem of meeting all parameters The rationale for ranking the parameters for optimal business return on investment The Waterfall Approach to Parameter Optimization What do we mean by 'Waterfall'? Setting, aligning and managing the parameter priorities The PRINCE2® process model The strengths of Waterfall / PRNCE2® The Agile Approach to Parameter Optimization What do we mean by Agile? Setting, aligning and managing the parameter priorities The Agile PM process model The strengths of Agile / Agile PM Options for Implementing PRINCE2® with Agile PM The available tool set(s) Six options for combining both methods The value each option brings to the project The value each option bring to the sponsoring organization Guidelines for experimenting with these and other creative combinations The Challenges for the 'Combination' Project Management Team The sponsoring organization The decision making body within the project The project manager The delivery team
